Note

Please create a separate module for this, as in the folder and project structure (if it is already created, just add your features as functions in the same module).
Do not use the `selenium web driver as it is incompatible with all devices and cloud platforms.
Before making any changes, please check whether the module you want to add exists. If yes, then you can add your functionality as a method only make a separate module and class for it.

All the best 👨‍💻

Rather than putting the effort into building your own scraping and dealing with bypassing LinkedIn's complex authwall mechanisms (IPs, cookies, browser fingerprinting, etc.), you could use something like Proxycurl, which is a B2B enrichment service that scrapes the data for you. Give it a look and see if that's up your alley.

P.S. Yes, I do work there!
